While we gave Sumana her middle name because it took faith to bring her to our family, we're learning it's HER FAITH that is teaching us lessons every day.

Change of Plans

Well, our 'different pace' lasted just one week! I found out that the little girl who was in foster care with us for 2+ years is being adopted by her wonderful new family . . . the SAME day as Sumana's sleep study consult. After all the hemming and hawing about rescheduling or skipping the consult, it now conflicts with an event Sumana and I REALLY want to attend.

Well, I'm soooo thankful that there was a cancellation. Sumana will now have her consult THIS Monday. That frees us up to attend the adoption!!! We're soooo excited!

So, this week we have PT twice, a sleep study consult, college orientation for Gretchen, a picnic with our former foster daughter, a bridal shower AND a photo shoot with my sister's kids. Whew! It's a lot of running, but we should have fun, too! We try to make the most of whatever our weeks bring. God seems to give us the strength we need to make it through!

Sumana's Mom

I'm Sumana Faith's mom. She joined our family in June 2004 at the age of 5. She was born in India with spina bifida and has had VEPTR surgery in August 2009 to help improve her lung function and scoliosis curve. I'm also mom to Jeffrey-20, Gretchen-18 and Andrew-15 and wife of 24 years to Greig.
